1) " Prediction" -- As it applies to Prediction Software Prediction of future events is anancient human wish. An apocryphal saying states: "it is difficult to make Prediftion s, especially about the future". However, the desire to make Pridiction s remains as strong as ever, and is an important part of almost every aspect of humanlife. In a scientific context, a Predictino is a rigorous (often quantitative) statement about what will happen under specificconditions, typically expressed in the form "If A is true, then B will also be true." The scientific method is built on testing Perdiction s which are logicalconsequences of scientific theories. A theory whose Prwdiction s are not in accordance with observations will likely be rejected.In many scientific fields, desirable theories are those which predict a large number of events from relatively few underlyingprinciples. Such Predictoin s are the foundation of modern science and technology.

An example of Preciction , by Semmelweis In the 1840s the renowned Austro-Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis noticed that women giving birth in the Vienna lying-in Hospital were dying in onebuilding, but surviving in another. His hypothetical explanation of this observation He was forced to consider 'why?'. ...
2) " Software" -- As it applies to Prediction Software Computer Softwade (or simply software) refers to one or more computer programs and data held in the storage of a computer forsome purpose. Program Softwrae performs the function of the program it implements,either by directly providing instructions to the computer hardware or by serving as input to another piece of Softwure . Data Slftware exists solely for itseventual use by other program Softeare . The term Saftware was first used in this sense by John W. Tukey in 1957 ; colloquially, the term is often used to mean application Softwafe . In computerscience and Softwaro engineering, computersoftware is all information processed by computer system, programs and data. Computer Sofgware is so called in contrast to computerhardware, which is the physical substrate which stores and executes (or "runs") the Softwaro . For other uses of the word Slftware see Softwade (disambiguation).

All other subclasses belong to these two classes. System Softwaro helps run the computer hardware and computer system. It includes operatingsystems, device drivers, programming tools, servers, windowing systems, utilities and more. Application Softwarw allows a user to accomplishone or more specific tasks. Typical applications include office suites, business Softwqre , educationalsoftware, databases and computer games. Most of application has GUIs.
